Both of her parents are private investigators, but father Rick is also a country guitarist and songwriter. Lambert became seriously interested in country music after attending a Garth Brooks concert as a young girl, and soon began singing in talent contests under the tutelage of her father.
At 16, Miranda began appearing on the Johnny High Country Music Review in Arlington, Texas, the same show that helped launch the career of LeAnn Rimes. Miranda quickly landed a recording session in Nashville, but left the studio in tears after she became frustrated with the "pop" sound of music that was not her own. Upon returning to Texas, Miranda began writing songs and taking guitar lessons from her father.
When Miranda's aptitude for music became apparent, her parents encouraged her to aggressively pursue singing and acting opportunities. While still a high school student, Miranda made her professional singing debut and fronted the house band at the Reo Palm Isle Ballroom in Longview, Texas, a long-running venue that has showcased Elvis Presley and Willie Nelson.
Foregoing college, Miranda performed throughout Texas in 2001 and 2002. She finished first in the Texas auditions for Nashville Star and eventually placed third on the national competition.

Miranda Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more talking, just start walking
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
Tell your lawyer it's all over
Forget what he's got up his sleeve
No more signing, no more whining
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
Said goodbye a long, long time ago
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you do is leave
Leave the dog here, he don't like you
And we'll go walking anytime we please
Leave the cat here, leave my hat here
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
I'll keep the diamond on my finger and you keep all the bitter memories
Leave the dishes, no more kisses
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
All that's left for you to do is leave
Said goodbye a long, long time ago
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you do is leave
All that's left for you to do is leave
Said goodbye a long, long time ago
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you to do is leave
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you to do is leave
